Linux HWaddr Not Persistent On Reboot

I have a Red Hat Enteprise server v5.7, somehow the HWaddr of the NICs keeps on changing after a reboot even if the MAC address is already hard coded in the ifcfg scripts. Sometimes they even show up with all the same HWaddr when I run ifconfig. This is very important because I'm using 'Bond' to increase my throughput on the backup server.
